About The Author

Jay Luong

Mr. Audio Bacon himself. An open-minded electrical engineer and software developer by trade. I have an obsession with the enjoyment of all things media - specifically in the realm of music and film. So much heart and soul (and money) go into the creation of this artistry. My aim is to find out which products get me closer to what the musicians and directors intended.

      I see the stack of Exogal equipment driving the Pure Audio Project Trio 10. Any recollections or thoughts on that combination?

        My first thought was “It was between the other two (tonally) with a taller, wider sound.” Definitely had more incisiveness in the treble region but balanced overall.

      Jay, thank you for the kind words and I’m glad you had fun in our room. We pride ourselves on making this amazing hobby about music and relationships. Just one minor correction. The Graham LS5/8 retail for $13,795. Still a steal!

      Great pics Jay. That is one huge amount of stuff to cover.

      I especially like the big Avantgarde system, makes the old Klipsh folded corner horns I remember look downright conservative in design and appearance. The W.A.F. would have to be a negative number.

      Thanks for stopping by and listening to our system. We really enjoyed putting together a compact package for the small space. PMC’s are known for their big active products, but we wanted to show the smaller side. It was very entertaining to play everything from our music catalog and see the response.

      This is truly the best recap of AXPONA that I’ve seen so far. Thanks for all the descriptions of the rooms!

      Any impressions on the sound of PMC Twenty 26?

      Also, how did the Magico A3s fare compered to similarly sized and shaped speakers?

        I only heard the 23s. Both aim for neutrality but I felt the Magicos had slightly more warmth and density over the PMC 23s.

      The smaller PranaFidelity speakers are not the Fifty90. They were the Bhava or something like that and they were just under $5,000. They are amazing speakers! I’d love to own them.

        Thank you for the correction Dave! They look almost identical. The room wasn’t optimal for these speakers but they still sounded great.
